I want to trigger an event based on the cumulated flow time (or the cumulated time when flowregulator.enabled = true) of a flow node. I tried to use the Timer and set the interval type of "TimeInState", but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks for your post, that does work for tracking the "enabled" time of a flownode. Is there a way to track the cumulated "running time" of a flow node? I want to exclude the "idle" time from the total "enabled" time of the node and only count when there is flow running through.
